TTM #59 YOU ARE A MIRACLE

You are listening to me talking to myself. Welcome to the podcast, where I share useful tools to create more space, more freedom, inner peace, connection, and life on purpose.
-
You are a miracle. every cell in your body every thought in your mind every beat of your heart. It's all a miracle. But somewhere along the way, you forgot that. you let others define you, label you, put you in a box, and it's time to break free.

Think about how many times have you dimmed your light because someone told you to? How often have you stayed silent when you had something important to say? When was the last time you truly stood up for yourself? It stops now, today in this moment, you're making a choice. A choice to reclaim your power to remember your worth to stop letting others treat you less than a miracle. when we allow others to treat us poorly. We're not just hurting ourselves. We're reinforcing a belief system that says it's okay to disrespect. We're telling the universe this is what I deserve. But that's a lie. You deserve respect. You deserve kindness. You deserve to be seen, heard and valued, not because of what you do or what you have, but simply because you exist. You are a unique expression of life itself and that alone makes you invaluable. But here's the thing, no one is going to hand you respect. You have to claim it. You have to embody it. You have to become so grounded in your own worth that no one can shake you. It starts with your thoughts. Every time you think I'm not good enough, or I don't matter, you're programming your brain. You're creating neural pathways that reinforce these false beliefs. But guess what, you have the power to change that. Start catching those negative thoughts when they pop up, pause, take a deep breath and then consciously choose a different thought. I am worthy, I am valuable. I matter. Say it out loud. repeat it until you believe it. The brain does not know the difference between what's real and what's imagined. So when you consistently feed it positive, empowering thoughts, it starts to create new neural pathways. You're literally rewiring your brain to support your worth. But it's not just about thoughts. It's about action. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others treat you. are you taking care of your body, are you honouring your needs? Are you speaking to yourself with kindness? start treating yourself like you are precious, because you are. nourish your body with healthy food, move in ways that feel good, rest when you need to, speak to yourself with the same compassion you'd offer a dear friend and when it comes to others set clear boundaries. You teach people how to treat you. If someone consistently disrespects you, it's okay to distance yourself. If someone crosses a line, it's okay to speak up. You don't have to be rude or aggressive. You can be firm and kind at the same time. Remember, you're not responsible for other people's behaviour. You're only responsible for your own. So focus on being the best version of yourself. live with integrity, treat others with respect and expect the same in return.

you might be thinking, but what if I stand up for myself and people don't like it? Well, ask yourself. Do you want to be liked? Or do you want to be respected? Do you want to live a life that's true to you or one that's designed to please others? The truth is when you start valuing yourself, you might lose some people. But these are the people who were comfortable with the old you, that you that didn't speak up that didn't set boundaries that accepted less than you deserved. As you grow, your circle might shrink, but it will be filled with people who truly see and appreciate you. And here's something powerful to consider as you start treating yourself with more respect, you'll naturally attract others who do the same. It's like you're sending out a signal to the universe. This is how I deserve to be treated and the universe responds. But this isn't just about you. When you stand in your power, when you refuse to be treated as less than, you're setting an example. You're showing others what's possible, you're creating ripples of change that extend far beyond you. Think about it. How many times have you been inspired by someone who stood up for themselves? How often have you admired someone who refused to be pushed around? By claiming your worth you're giving others permission to do the same. this journey is not easy. It takes courage to change deeply ingrained patterns. It takes strength to stand up to those who are used to pushing you down. It takes persistence to keep going when old habits try to pull you back. But you have that courage. You have that strength you have that persistence. It's all within you waiting to be awakened. And here's the beautiful thing, every time you choose self respect over self doubt, every time you speak up instead of staying silent, Every time you honour your worth instead of shrinking yourself, You're building momentum, you're creating a new normal for yourself. It's like working out the first few times it's hard, your muscles ache, your lungs burn, but if you keep at it, day after day, it gets easier, you get stronger and eventually it becomes second nature. The same is true for standing in your power. At first it might feel uncomfortable, you might doubt yourself, but each time you do it, you're strengthening your self-worth muscle. You're creating new neural pathways that support your value. And as you do this inner work, you'll start to notice changes in your outer world. People will respond to you differently. opportunities will open up. life will start to reflect back to you the worth that you're claiming for yourself. But remember, this isn't about becoming arrogant or thinking you're better than others. It's about recognising your inherent value as a human being. It's about treating yourself and others with respect. It's about creating a world where everyone's worth is honoured.

So how do we do this in action? Let's break it down. First, as always it starts with awareness. Notice how you talk to yourself. Pay attention to how you let others treat you, become conscious of the moments when you shrink yourself or stay silent when you should speak up.

Next, make a commitment to change. decide right here now that you're no longer willing to be treated as less than, make a promise to yourself that you'll start honouring your worth.

Then take small steps. Start with something manageable. Maybe it's speaking up in a meeting when you have an idea. Maybe it's looking in the mirror and saying I am worthy every morning. As you take these steps - celebrate your progress. Did you set a boundary - congratulate yourself? Did you stand up for yourself - acknowledge your courage. every small win is building your confidence and reinforcing your worth. And when you go back to your old thoughts and patterns, because you will, we all do - Be kind to yourself. Don't use it as proof that you're not worthy. Instead see it as part of the learning process. Dust yourself off, remind yourself of your worth and try again. Remember, this is a journey. It's not about being perfect. It's about consistently choosing to honour your worth, even when it's hard, especially when it's hard.

As you do this work you might start to notice some resistance, maybe from others who are used to the old you, maybe from your own mind questioning if you really deserve better. This is normal. Change often brings resistance but here's the thing, that resistance is a sign that you're growing. It's a sign that you're challenging the status quo. It's a sign that you're reclaiming your power. So when you face resistance,  see it as confirmation that you're on the right path. Let it fuel your determination to keep going. And as you continue on this path, you'll start to notice something amazing: Not only will you stop letting others treat you without respect but you'll also stop treating yourself that way, you'll start to see your own beauty, your own strength, your incredible potential. You'll start to realise that you are not just enough, you are more than enough. You are a miracle of existence, a unique expression of life itself. There has never been and will never be another you. think about that for a moment, There's only one you, your combination of experiences, thoughts, feelings, talents, skills, it's completely unique. How could that ever be less than a miracle?

So from this moment on, make a commitment, a commitment to honour your worth, a commitment to stand in your power, a commitment to stop letting anyone including yourself, treat you like you don’t matter because you do. You're a star in human form, made of the same stuff that lights up the night sky. You're a force of nature capable of incredible things. You're a miracle walking and talking and breathing. And it's time you start acting like that. It's time to speak your truth even when your voice shakes. It's time to set boundaries even when it feels uncomfortable. It's time to pursue your dreams even when others say you can't. It's time to stop dimming your light to make others comfortable. Your light is not too bright, their eyes just need to adjust. It's time to stop apologising for taking up space. You have every right to be here to be seen to be heard. It's time to stop accepting crumbs when you deserve the whole feast. You are worthy of love, respect, success, happiness, all of it. It's time to stop waiting for permission to live your life fully. You don't need anyone's approval to be who you are. It's time to stop letting your past define your future. Your history is not your destiny. You have the power to write a new story starting right now. It's time to stop playing small. The world needs your gifts, your voice, your unique perspective. By hiding you're not just shortchanging yourself, you're depriving the world of your brilliance. It's time to stop letting fear hold you back. Yes, it's scary to stand up for yourself. Yes, it's frightening to step into your power. But you know What's scarier? looking back on your life and realising you never truly lived it. It's time to stop letting others opinions matter more than your own. YOU are the expert on your life, you know what's best for you. Trust that inner wisdom. It's time to stop putting everyone else's needs before your own. You can't pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's necessary. It's time to stop waiting for the perfect moment to start living. This is your moment, right here right now. It's time to stop letting yourself doubt when your doubts are lies. Your worth is the truth.

It's time to stop believing the lie that you're not enough. You are enough you've always been enough. You will always be enough. It's time to stop letting your mistakes define you. Your mistakes are lessons, learn from them and move forward. stop letting your fear of failure hold you back. Failure is not the opposite of success. It's part of success. It's time to stop comparing yourself to others. Your only competition is the person you were yesterday. It's time to stop waiting for someone to rescue you. You are your own hero. You have everything you need within you. It's time to stop letting your inner critic have the loudest voice. Choose to listen to the voice that uplifts and empowers you. Choose to listen to the voice that uplifts and empowers you instead. It's time to stop hiding your true self. The world needs your authenticity, your vulnerability, your realness.

Don't let anyone or anything dull your brilliance. It's time to stop letting your worth be determined by others. You are inherently valuable simply because you exist. It's time to stop letting your life pass you by while you wait for the right time. The right time is NOW - this moment is all we ever have. It's time to stop letting your need for approval dictate your choices. The only approval you need is your own.
 
 It's time to stop letting your circumstances define you. You are not your situation. You are your response to your situation. It's time to stop letting your fear of the unknown keep you stuck. The unknown is where all the magic happens. It's time to stop letting your need for control limit your experiences. Sometimes the best things in life are unplanned. It's time to stop letting your insecurities hold you back. Your imperfections make you unique.

From this moment on, choose to honour your worth. Choose to stand in your power, choose to shine your light, unapologetically and brilliantly because when you do you give others permission to do the same. You create a ripple effect of empowerment and self worth that can change the world. So stand tall, speak your truth, Set your boundaries. Pursue your dreams. Love yourself. 

this journey of self worth isn't a destination. It's a daily practice. Every day you have the opportunity to choose self respect over self doubt. Every interaction is a chance to stand in your power and honour your worth. Every moment is an opportunity to remember your true value. This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about uncovering who you've always been beneath the layers of doubt, fear and negative conditioning. It's about returning to your true self. The self that knows its worth and refuses to be treated as anything less than the miracle. As you continue on this journey you'll face challenges. There will be days when it feels easier to slip back into old patterns. days when the voice of self doubt seems louder than ever, days when others push against your newfound strength, but when those challenging days come and they will - pause. Take a deep breath and remind yourself of your inherent worth. Remind yourself of all the times you've overcome challenges in the past, remind yourself of the strength that lives within you. And then take one small step forward. It doesn't have to be big, maybe it's simply looking in the mirror and saying I am worthy. Maybe it's saying no to something that doesn't serve you. Maybe it's doing one small thing to take care of yourself. These small steps might not feel significant in the moment. But they add up they build momentum they reinforce your worth, they show the universe and more importantly, they show yourself that you are committed to honouring your value.

you're not just doing this for yourself. You're doing it for everyone who's ever felt small, insignificant or unworthy. You're showing them what's possible. You're lighting the way.

imagine a world where everyone recognise their own worth, where no one allowed themselves to be treated as less than, where everyone stood in their power and shine their light brightly. That's the world you're helping to create simply by honouring your own worth. So keep going. Keep choosing yourself. Keep standing tall in your power. keep refusing to be treated as anything less than the miracle you are.

You are a unique expression of life itself. A one in a billion miracle there has never been and will never be another you. Your thoughts, your feelings, your experiences, your perspective. They all matter. They all have value. Your dreams, your goals, your aspirations. They're not too big. If anything, they're not big enough. You are capable of more than you can imagine. Your voice deserves to be heard. Your opinions matter. Your ideas are valuable. Don't let anyone silence you or make you feel small. Your time is precious. Your energy is valuable. Don't waste them on people or things that don't honour your worth, your boundaries are important. They're not selfish, they're necessary. They protect your energy, your peace, your sense of self. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for having them. Your needs matter, your wants matter. Your feelings matter. Don't push them aside to please others, honour that your body is a miracle. It carries you through life and allows you to experience the world. Treat it with respect and care.

Your mind is powerful. It can be your greatest ally or your worst enemy. Choose thoughts that uplift and empower you.

Your present is a gift. It's the only moment you truly have make the most of it. Your future is full of potential. you have the power to shape it with your choices and actions. 

Your fears are not facts. They're stories your mind tells you to keep you safe. But sometimes the greatest growth happens when you face those fears.

Your doubts are not truths. They're echoes of past hurts or societal conditioning. You have the power to silence them with self belief. Your worth is not determined by your productivity, your achievements, your possessions, or your relationships. It's inherent it exists simply because you exist. Your sensitivity is not a weakness. It's a strength. It allows you to connect deeply with others and with the world around you. Your emotions are not something to be ashamed of. They're part of the human experience. honour them, learn from them, but don't let them control you. Your intuition is not something to ignore. It's your inner wisdom speaking to you. Learn to listen to it and trust it. Your challenges are not punishments, they are opportunities for growth, for developing resilience, for becoming stronger. Your scars both physical and emotional are not something to hide. They're proof of your strength, your ability to heal, your resilience. Your story is not over as long as you're breathing. You have the power to write new chapters to change the narrative to create a life that honours your worth.

So from this moment on, make a promise to yourself. Promise that you will stand tall in your power and that you will honour your worth. That you will shine your light brightly and unapologetically,that you will speak your truth even when your voice shakes. Promise that you will set boundaries even when it feels uncomfortable. Promise that you will pursue your dreams even when others say you can't. promise that you will love yourself fiercely. That you will treat yourself with kindness and respect. Promise that you will celebrate your uniqueness your quirks, your imperfections, because they make you who you are. Promise that you will no longer shrink yourself to make others comfortable. Promise that you will no longer apologise for taking up space, for having needs, for being who you are. Promise that you will no longer settle for less, than you deserve in any area of your life. In your relationships, your career, your self care your dreams. Promise that you will no longer let fear hold you back from living fully, from reaching for what you want from becoming who you're meant to be. Promise that you will no longer let your past define your future that you will no longer let your mistakes hold you back that you will no longer let your doubts win over your dreams. Promise that you will stand up for yourself that you will speak up when something isn't right that you will advocate for your needs and wants promise that you will take care of yourself. Body, mind and spirit promise that you will prioritise your well being your growth, your happiness, promise that you will surround yourself with people who see your worth, who celebrate your light who encourage your growth and promise that you will distance yourself from those who try to dim your light or make you feel small promise that you will keep growing learning evolving, that you will never stop becoming a better version of yourself. And most importantly promise that you will always always remember your worth. That you will never again forget that you are a miracle, a force of nature, a unique and invaluable expression of life itself. Because when you make these promises to yourself and keep them - you change, and when you change the world around you changes, you create a ripple effect of empowerment of self worth of respect. That extends far beyond you. 

this journey of self worth is ongoing. It's a daily practice a moment by moment choice, but with each choice to honour your worth you grow stronger with each step you take an honouring yourself. You create a new normal one where you are valued, respected and treated as the miracle you are. The world is waiting for the real you, the you that knows its value that stands in its power that refuses to be treated as anything less than the miracle it is. Always remember that.
